Freight forwarding for arms, ammunition and Class 1 dangerous goods, built for governments, defence primes and security agencies. Every movement runs with vetted, licensed carriers and is screened before booking: counterparties, permits and end use. One accountable partner from origin to authorised end user.
We arrange and control the movement: routing, licensing coordination, ADR carriage, customs and documented handovers, so every consignment runs under one accountable chain of custody.
Multimodal movement of small arms, ammunition and complete weapon systems, arranged under the required export and import licences and executed by vetted carriers throughout.
ADR Class 1 carriage with EX/III-rated vehicles, certified drivers and escort coordination, arranged through vetted specialist carriers to the standard defence procurement requires.
End-user verification, EU dual-use screening and customs coordination on every consignment, with the licensing picture confirmed before anything moves. Customs clearance runs through the group's AEO-certified operation.
Sealed, tracked and documented custody from origin to delivery, with auditable handover records at each step. Bonded storage is arranged through the group's bonded warehousing or vetted partners when a movement requires it.
The division is headquartered at the Port of Koper, with the group office in Vienna. The Conbulk group forwards door to door by sea, road and rail from the Port of Koper; the defence division is building a vetted carrier network for Class 1 and controlled cargo, carrier by carrier across Europe.
We operate a compliance-first model. Counterparties, permits and end-user credentials are checked before a consignment is booked. Movements of arms and controlled goods are subject to national authorisation and EU export-control law; we confirm those authorisations with every party involved. Every movement is documented end to end.
Counterparties, carriers and destination screened against sanctions and diversion risk. Goods classified against control lists and ADR: UN number, division, compatibility group, net explosive quantity.
The end-user certificate, and where required the destination state's import certificate, are secured before any licence application is filed.
Export or intra-EU transfer licence held by the exporter, transit permits for each country of routing, import licence at destination. We verify scope and validity against the consignment.
DGSA sign-off, ADR 1.10 security plan, approved routing and tunnel restrictions, NEQ per transport unit and compatibility-group segregation, EX/II or EX/III vehicles.
Export declaration filed by the group's AEO-certified customs team, then T1 under NCTS or NATO Form 302 for military movements, and import clearance at destination.
